====352====
[[File:1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL 352 engine.JPG|thumb|right|352 FE V8 in a 1964 [[Ford Galaxie|Galaxie 500 XL]]]]
Introduced in 1958 as part of the Interceptor line of Ford V8 engines, the Ford 352 of {{cvt|351.86|cuin|L|2}} actual displacement was the replacement for the Lincoln Y-block. It is a stroked 332 with {{cvt|3.5|in|mm|2}} stroke and a {{cvt|4|in|mm|2}} bore, and was rated from {{cvt|208|bhp|kW|1}} with a 2-barrel carburetor to over {{cvt|300|bhp|kW|1}} on the 4-barrel models. When these engines were introduced, they were called '''Interceptor V-8''' on the base models and '''Interceptor Special V-8''' on the 4-barrel models.<ref name="1958 Ford Brochure"/> The 1958 H vin coded 352 was designated as '''Interceptor V-8 Thunderbird Special'''.<ref>1958 Ford V8 Cars & Thunderbird Service Manual pg 483.</ref>  The Interceptor was the base-performance engine in 1958. For the 1959 model year, the FE engine series was renamed the '''Thunderbird V-8''' and the '''Thunderbird Special V-8'''.<ref name="1959 Ford Brochure"/> When installed in Mercury vehicles, these engines were named "Marauder". This series of engines usually weighed over {{cvt|650|lb|kg|0}}.<ref>{{cite book |title=New Ford Interceptor V-8 Engines |year=1957 |publisher=Ford}}</ref> In 1960 Ford created a high-performance version of the 352 rated at {{convert|360|hp}} it featured an aluminum intake manifold, [[Holley Performance Products|Holley]] 4100 4-barrel [[carburetor]], cast iron header-style exhaust manifolds, 10.5:1 [[compression ratio]], and solid [[valve lifter|lifter]]s.

====361 Edsel====
[[File:1959 Edsel Corsair 361 engine.JPG|thumb|right|361 FE V8 in a 1959 [[Edsel Corsair]]]]
Edsel 361 engines were assembled in Cleveland Ohio, and Dearborn Michigan. They were standard equipment in the 1958 [[Edsel Ranger]], [[Edsel Pacer|Pacer]], [[Edsel Villager|Villager]], [[Edsel Roundup|Roundup]] and [[Edsel Bermuda|Bermuda]].<ref name="1958 Edsel SDB"/>
The Edsel 361 was the very first FE block engine to be offered for sale in any market, having been introduced to the public in the U.S. on September 4, 1957, almost two months before any 1958 Fords were sold.<ref>{{cite book

The 361 cid 4V FE engine was also sold on 1959 Edsels in the U.S. and Canada, and 1958 and 1959 Ford and Meteor brand automobiles in Canada in place of the 352 cid, which was not available with any Ford Motor Company of Canada brand until the 1960 model year. Edsel 361 engines were available to U.S. law enforcement agencies and state and municipal emergency services purchasing fleet Fords as the 1958 Ford "Police Power Pack."<ref>{{cite book

====360 Truck====
The '''361/360''', of {{cvt|360.8|cuin|L|1}} actual displacement, was introduced in 1968 and phased out at the end of the 1976-year run; it was used in the [[Ford F Series]] trucks and pickups. It has a bore of a 390 ({{convert|4.05|in|mm|2}}) and used the 352's {{cvt|3.5|in|mm|2}} rotating assembly. 361s and 360s were also constructed with heavy duty internal components for truck use. Use of a standard 352/390 cam for use in passenger cars along with carburetor and distributor adjustment allowed the 360 to give performance similar to that of the 352 and 390 car engines. Rated at {{cvt|215|bhp|kW|1}} at 4100&nbsp;rpm and {{cvt|375|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque at 2600&nbsp;rpm (2-barrel carb, 1968). The 360 used the same block, heads and other parts as a 390, this makes them indistinguishable from each other unless the stroke is measured.

====390====
[[File:1969 Ford Mustang 390 FE.JPG|thumb|390 FE V8 in a 1969 [[Ford Mustang]]]]
The 390 had a bore of {{Convert|4.05|in|mm|2}}, stroke of {{convert|3.785|in|mm|2}}, and displacement of {{cvt|390.04|cuin|L|1}}. It was the most common FE engine in later applications; used in many Ford cars as the standard engine, including the Thunderbird, and in many trucks as well. It was a popular high-performance engine;<ref>{{cite book

The {{cvt|390|cuin|L|1}} 2v is rated at {{cvt|265|bhp|kW|1}} at 4,100&nbsp;rpm, while the 4v version was rated at {{cvt|320|bhp|kW|1}} at 4,100&nbsp;rpm in certain applications. Certain 1967 and 1968 Mustangs had 390 4v engines rated at {{convert|335|hp}}, as did some Fairlane GTs and S code Mercury Cougars.  {{citation needed span|text=When the 390 was first offered for 1961 model there was a {{convert|375|hp}} High Performance version that featured an aluminum 4bbl intake manifold, cast iron "header" style exhaust manifolds, 10.5:1 compression ratio and a solid lifter valve train.  Many of these cars came with an aluminum 3x2bbl intake manifold in the trunk that was meant to be installed by the dealer and raised the engine's output to {{convert|401|hp}}.|reason=There are numerous bold claims here, without a shred of support.
